update: more images and specs here. I had a good chat with LG at the World Of Mobility expo in Cologne today and have managed to pick up some information, have a play and snap some images of the C1 convertible tablet and the A1 notebook. Here’s the specification of the model that is going through approval in Germany at the moment. Its a Core Duo device (U2500, 1.2 Ghz) with a 10.6″ 10241280×768 FineBrite (LED backlit) convertible touchscreen. Vista lovers are going to drool over the NVIDIA GeForce Go […]

I’m a bit late on reporting this but Josh deserves some respect for a good set of images and some commentary on the ASUS R2H.   More R2H news here.

…so say Ultranauts. They link to a video of a tri-fold ultra mobile PC concept that looks cool but has that same problem as the Samsung SPH-P9000. How do you hold it in two hands without it flopping all over the place like a wet towel? Its the Fujitsu concept that was displayed in Italy at the Triennale di Milano exhibition.

Oh so almost-UMPC! Asia-Pac gets an O2 Xda Flame next year. It doesn’t look like anything special from the image but its got a VGA screen, an NVIDIA GoForce 5500 GPU, an Intel XScale PXA270 520MHz CPU, 2GB ROM, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, USB On-The-Go, a 2.0-megapixel camera, SRS Mobile HD surround sound support, and TV-out support. According to PocketPC Thoughts forums its a 3G phone with Wifi. No Bluetooth has been confirmed yet and there are still sketchy details about the 3G support. One of the forum members is planning to […]

Update:27 March 2007. HTC Now have a UMPC: HTC Shift details It looks like there could be some truth in that previous HTC posting I made because there’s also some very interesting HTC/ultra mobile PC talk going on at Howard Forums. I won’t quote anything here but have a look at this thread. There’s talk of an HTC universal successor (please Lord, let it have an 800×480 screen.) and the previously mentioned Athena project. Again, there’s the mention of the UMPC. Something is developing… Lets just re-cap on the previous […]

Once again it looks like the AMD LX800 is going to surprise a few people. Akihabara have just posted a teaser saying that there will be photos and videos coming soon. even tho it only has a 500MHz Sempron CPU, the computer is not that bad Sempron? I think they mean AMD LX800 dont they? Carrypad SA1F00A data sheet. Steve. Technorati tags: Kohjinsha, umpc, lx800 View details of all Ultra Mobile devices in the ultra mobile PC product database.

Normally I can spot a spam blog from a mile away but this one is different. The blog is mature (12 months), includes no ads and the article itself appears informed and plausible. The contributors (Tristan, Bert415) also have other mature blogs and appear to live in Taiwan. Either its an informed insider opinion, a copy of an Asian stock report, i’m missing something obvious or someone is having a tin bath. I don’t normally post rumors. (The last one I posted was about an Apple tablet PC back in August. It looks like […]

I don’t expect any major announcements or product launches at WofM in Koeln tomorrow but there will be chances to make contact with the marketing teams from some of the big companies. Samsung will be there and one of the outstanding questions I have at the moment relates to the Q1b. It was announced at the IFA and the only advertising I’ve seen until now has been in German. It launched in the U.S. but without the HSDPA modem. So what’s the latest? Is it coming to Europe? ASUS will be there too so there’s a chance to […]
